Cell cycle is the cycle that a typical cell goes through. It has three distinct phases, interphase, mitosis, and cytokineses.

  • Interphase: This is when the cell is going through its normal functions, whatever it may be. This is also when the cell grows, replicates its DNA, and copies all its organelles to prepare itself for cell division.
  • Mitosis: The division of the nucleus, it has 4 common phases, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. In mitosis, the nucleus and nucleolus first dissolves while the cell's chromatins are condensed and coiled to form chromosomes which are aligned and split into opposite sides of the cell where it will form two separate nucleus.
  • Cytokineses: The division of the cytoplasm, this is when the microfilaments form a cleavage furrow which divides the large cell into two daughter cells. With cytokineses finished, the cell completes its cell cycle.

In a typical cell cycle, the cell is in interphase approximately 90% of the times, concentrating on its function. Some cells are in G0 phases, where they are constantly in interphase. An example of this is the neuron, which does not undergo mitosis.

How much of the cell cycle is taken up by cell division?

Very little of the cell cycle is taken up by cell division. Most of the cell cycle consists of cell growth and chromosome replication so the original cell can split into multiple cells.


What portion of the cells life cycle does not involve cell division?

The portion of a cell's life cycle that does not involve cell division is known as interphase. During interphase, the cell undergoes growth, carries out normal cell functions, and replicates its DNA in preparation for cell division. Cell division occurs during the M phase of the cell cycle, which includes mitosis and cytokinesis.
